FMP - Creating More Prints

Today in this session I decided to draw up a couple more print sketches that will converted into artifacts for my final presentation. The first that I completed was of depiction of Kali burning some Fanarian gypsies due to her hatred for them and because a cremation in this world equals a dishonorable and damning burial as hell is in the sky according to her religion. You can see the stars as symbolism of the two dying men. I drew this sketch in the style of a 17th century woodcut print with the main inspirations being of depictions of witch burnings from around those times. The second image that I drew was of the Sultana Adiya tying up other leaders of the 19th century in a propaganda poster, including a figure of Queen Victoria. I completed this one in the style of Toulouse Lautrec because I though it would be interesting to fuse these different cultures of Arabia and Europe together to create a interesting amalgamation.

The third thing that I drew up was a depiction of the Goddess Amalurra in her version of heaven, Mirakel, which is located at the centre of the earth. This particular drawing was inspired by the depictions of Hindu Gods in Paintings and how all their stories, relevance, and personalities were shown off in a single image. I created a bunch of symbols that could reappear in my other drawings and I also coloured it in since I thought it would look more effective with a more rustic coloured in effect. The fourth thing I drew today was a stereotypical depiction of a Fanarian couple in the eyes of the Pamundur public that would go in satirical magazine like punch as a deconstruction of their way of life. The sketchy style is entirely inspired by Punch magazine. And finally, the last thing I drew today was a illustration of the Sultana with her harem of men. This image is supposed to reinforce the idea of mens role in this society. Its in the style of old Ottoman drawings and paintings.
